Ive got some new projects on the go right now, amongst keeping up with orders and school related activities, Ive felt the urge to work really small again.Ive been making some test pieces of little porcelain discs in the shape of a tiny bowl to melt glass and glaze together. I would like to make an array of colours ( something to match what you wear ) maybe, but Ive only had current success with cobalt and aqua coloured glaze glass.

These are the unfired porcelain discs.

Here they are again after they have been fired with glass, I do like how the glass crackles inside the bowls.

A few extra colours but the results have varied much as some of the glazes haven't suited the glass.

This is the bowl I got the idea from, I wanted to create the same kind of technique only on a miniature scale so I could wear them.

MUD HANDS........A visual diary of what I make.

Print, texture and clay formations, practical Ideas and functional art that can be used for both purpose and style.
Here is where i document my successes and failings as both enable me to push on and are equally important in the making process.
